If you wrote a check for the supposed fees, the check could be traced back to the bank where it was deposited. If you sent the money via Western Union, that's untraceable. When the Western Union clerk asked you if you knew the recipient personally, you should have said "no" and the clerk should have showed you some literature on fraud. They should have then refused to let you throw your money away. Expensive lessons. -- it is against the law to require a cash deposit to secure a loan. Both in Canada and in the US. "Advance Fee" is your google search term here. A good article is the one at the FTC site regarding Advance Fee Loan Frauds. -- No good can ever come from using Western Union. Anyone can collect money from any Western Union office (within reason) as long as they know the Money Transfer Control Number and the Name / Address and can show some sort of "appropriate ID". Western Union is not a bank. Treat a Western Union transfer the same as sending cash through the mail -- with the word "CASH" written on the envelope. I know you were hopeful, and trusting. That's not a bad thing. But, no one on the internet is exactly who they say they are. Some are more accurate at describing themselves than others. You can never be sure until you meet them for yourself. File complaints with FTC -- you can do this online at their website. There isn't much they can do for you. They might get enough complaints about the same person(s) to set up an operation as the FBI recently did in LA.

I too have been ripped off by this company a total of 1884. The same situation that you have just described happen to me only thing is that I astupidly put out more. I have a negative balance in my account and it has been very hard for me to catch up on my bills due to this company fradulant actions. I have tried to call them and no luck so i have been faxing them at least 100 times aday and now they have blocked my faxes and angela simmons has changed her voice mail to Monica Walters. I have contact Judge Judy and they are trying to reach the owner of the company so they can taken on my case. I cann't afford a lawyer so thias was my only route. What I am asking is that if you are able to locate an active number or any number for the owener Patricia Miller or Marc Permwski I would really apperciate it. I want my money back all of it this has been going on since august for me.
